OSHA rated capacity rigging charts are used to determine which of the following?

• A. Determining the weight of the load
• B. Determining the load's center of gravity
• C. Determining the rigging equipment manufactured date
• D. Determining if the rigging equipment meets all criteria established by law

Answer: (D)

OSHA rated capacity charts show the maximum safe load for a crane in a given configuration (boom length, radius, etc.) and are used to ensure the lift stays within the crane’s rated limits and complies with safety regulations. They guide you to verify that the planned rigging and load are within what the equipment is certified to handle, aligning with legal and safety requirements. The charts don’t tell you the weight of the load by themselves, nor do they determine the load’s center of gravity, and they don’t indicate the rigging equipment’s manufacture date.
